Thought someone else would have stepped up to the proverbial plate on this before now, but since not, I'll give a Readers Digest version of the show results.
Aeroform (Kendrick/Lyndon) def. Zero Gravity (Esparza/Gakiya) in the "Bonus Match," which ended up being seen by all ticketholders.
Main Card:
CIMA def. Chuck Taylor
Johnny Gargano def. Drake Younger
Brodie Lee won Six-Way Freestyle Match over, Rich Swann, Jimmy Jacobs, Silas Young, Kyle O'Reilly, & Mike Quackenbush
Dragon Kid def. Arik Cannon
Ricochet def. Gran Akuma
Bryan Danielson def. Jon Moxley (Danielson wore the proverbial "crimson mask")
Shingo/Yamato/Tozawa def. BxB Hulk/Yoshino/Doi (Shingo pinned Hulk to end a MOTY candidate)
I apologize in advance if the match order may be slightly off. Don't have time at present to give more details except to say all the matches were very good to excellent; and the drama surrounding the approximate two-hour delay in starting the show (due to the late arrival of the ring) made the event even more memorable.

www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/155036/Various-News:-Foley-Biopic-Details,-Larry-Sweeney-Attacked,-More.htm - Larry Sweeney says he was assaulted by 8 – 10 people in Michigan City, Indiana on Saturday not. Apparently it wasn't wrestling-related, it was just "wrong place, wrong time." Sweeney said he was released from the hospital at 3 am with a broken nose and facial cuts. Was Sweeney the one who was supposed to provide the ring? Gabe said the ring owner was attacked outside a club the night before...

I worked that show in question. I left before everything went down but I was told everything that happened, without going into detail...
It wasn't sweeney's ring, he had nothing to do with getting the ring there. The ring belonged to the promoter of the show Sweeney worked the night before. The fight was indeed not wrestling related. There was already a large fight going on outside in the parking lot involving the promoter and when Sweeney was trying to leave he got caught in the middle of it. Wrong place wrong time.

Fans did get added free entertainment of watching the DGUSA talent unload the ring and carry the various parts into the theater. Bryan Danielson was conspicuous by his absence in this effort, and he joked about it during his post-match speech. (Wonder if his WWE contract forbids that type of manual labor? LOL)
P.S.: I don't believe Gabe Sapolsky gave the impression to those outside the theater that Larry Sweeney was the ring provider, but, as indicated above, he got caught up in the beat down of the ring guy. Gabe said Larry got "curb stomped." Glad to learn he apparently did not suffer very serious injuries.

he did indeed get curb stomped from my understanding of what happened that night. I heard it was pretty bad.

A broken nose and facial cuts is no fun, but it certainly could have been a lot worse.
But back to the show itself: one thing that so impressed me about the matches was the outcome of every one was in doubt until the finish. The Danielson/Moxley match could also be considered a MOTY candidate. Sadly, WWE fans will probably never get to see "Daniel Bryan" work the kind of match he did Sunday. Jon Moxley also did a great job, both literally and figuratively.

I wonder why they did not use the same ring for the 9/25 and 9/26 shows.

I wonder why they did not use the same ring for the 9/25 and 9/26 shows. Our ring or crew wasn't available to go up to Milwaukee on Sunday. Getting it in and out of the Eagles Club is a big hurdle to jump sometimes. |

With all that had happened, it still sounded like a good show. Too bad Milwaukee is a bit of a drive. Wish the cheesehead giving the results would have done a better job.
